Renting Property

Determine your needs

Once you have determined your needs, searching for an property will be much easier.

• Price range: Price is one the most important considerations. Decide how much you can afford or want to spend. Remember to factor in utility costs, parking and your usual monthly bills. Knowing your price range from the outset will focus your search, saving you time.


• Location: It is important that the neighbourhood you choose to live in is well suited to you and your family. Consider the distance from your work place or schools. Do you mind a long commute every day? Is public transportation easily accessible? Is it a high crime area? Is it close to amenities such as local shops, doctor offices and the post office?


• Type of property: Consider the size of your family and the space you require for your furniture and other possessions. Will you be happy in 500 square feet or will you need 1000? Will a one-room studio be adequate or do you require a one, two or three bedroom flat? Typically, the larger the flat the higher the rent will be.


• Features and amenities: Determine what features you need or desire in your future home. Is an en suite or on-site laundry facility important or do you mind going to a laundrette? Does the building feature security features such as porter, video cameras or a controlled-access public entry? Do you want the convenience of a dishwasher, an on-site gym or pool, a balcony etc.?
